"The lodge is located in a very remote location, despite of getting groceries are so inconvenient, Blake showed great generosity and hospitality to all the guests, make us feel like staying in an old friend's house.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Merrivale?
The best area to stay in Merrivale is the town center, particularly around Main Street and the riverside.

This area is the heart of Merrivale, offering convenient access to local shops, eateries, and the Merrivale River. It's easy to explore on foot, with the town's main attractions, like the Visitor Information Centre and the Merrivale Museum, all within a short walk. The riverside promenade is a pleasant spot for a stroll.

Couples will find the town center appealing for its selection of quality restaurants and boutique accommodations. Many establishments offer views of the river or are just steps away from local art galleries and craft stores, making it a pleasant base for a relaxing getaway.

For solo travelers, staying in the town center provides easy access to public transport links for exploring the wider Southland region.
When is the best time to go to Merrivale?
The best time to go to Merrivale is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warmest and most suitable for outdoor activities.

During this period, you can expect long daylight hours and average temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). This is ideal for exploring Merrivale's natural attractions, such as the numerous hiking trails in the nearby Southern Alps or enjoying water-based activities on Lake Wakatipu. Travelers interested in scenic drives will find the conditions excellent for navigating the Milford Road and accessing the Fiordland National Park.

Should you prefer cooler weather and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) also offer a pleasant experience. Temperatures are milder, and the changing foliage in autumn provides a beautiful backdrop for photography.
